Commentary

I decided to make Nanase's hair red in the chibi visualizations of this comic due to the context being that of jealousy and magical ability. Given that Nanase with black hair is basically representative of her not being in an ideal state or able to use magic, it just didn't seem to fit.

As for why they're chibi visualizations as opposed to normal proportions or sock puppets, it's much easier to fit more characters and show more of those characters in a confined space if they're less stretched out, which is definitely a stylistic advantage to character designs with smaller head heights in general.
